Re: [a/s] Brake Controller, Suggestions Please



What are you using now, George? Inquiring minds want to know...

I have been using a Warner for years. Most Camper dealers do not stock
them, so you have to get them to order it for you. It fits onto the brake
pedal and varies the current with the pressure you apply to the pedal. the
nice thing about it is that it is instantaneous and proportional. 

Unfortunately, I am having to give up my Warner. The trailer we bought
recently has 6 brakes and the warner is only rated for 4. Today I bought a
Tekonsha Sentinel 9055, and will be installing it in the next few days.

I once tried a pendulum type controller and was REALLY disappointed with
it. I hope this Sentinel is better. We will see.

Let us know what your experience has been with your present controller and
also let us know what it is so that we can avoid it if we wish to.
